Night night everyone.

Had blood tests 12.10 yesterday lunchtime at GP surgery.

Got a call 11.30pm to go to Lancaster A&E for further tests as infection markers are up.

Long wait ahead!

Hopefully not too long a wait.

Waiting on bloods test results myself. No call back this time, on the same day. To go back and get it repeated.

Still waiting.

I recall some of you share my passion for a quality, unadulterated Hot Cross Bun. None of this strawberries and cream nonsense from Tesco.

The best Hot X buns

Been awake since 1:00 had tea and biccies, later fried egg on toast, follwed by more tea and biccies...........must get some sleep
Spokeydokey - take care and good luck

Bin day tomorrow. Just put ours out. It's blue, grey and brown bins tomorrow.

You can always tell a nice middle-class area.........people automatically group the bins together by colour 🤣

We are more posherer than wat you are. Brown and grey are so drab don't you know.
We have blue (recycled), green (garden waste), and a nice shade of black for general waste

Strange, I have been awake since 12.30 but didn't see you.

9° at the moment but set to drop to 7 with solid rain all day.
Well, it is the UK isn't it.

Interesting. Our local council here in Oz provides Red lid bins for general waste, yellow lid for recycling and green lid for garden waste.

I'm a big fan of this. In some UK areas all bins are black and have coloured lids. In other areas, mine for one, the whole bin is coloured.

This is so wasteful. It's cheaper to make one bin in one colour and simply add a coloured lid. The bigger issue is colour. Coloured plastic can only be made from white, virgin polymer. That is new plastic. Recycled plastic cannot be coloured, it's always black.

So we happily make new coloured RECYCLING bins out of virgin polymer thus making MORE plastic!!!! Who thought this is a good plan???

Bins should always be black with coloured lids.

Rant time finished. Nap time begins!

Morning. Overcast but dry but I see rain is forecast by around 9 so I’d better just have my coffee and quick browse then head out.
